📍 Location: Hotel Blue, Loiu (Basque Country)
🕐 Time: 10:25 PM
😋 Status: Slightly hungry, highly optimistic.
There I was — marching into the hotel café, heart set on one final pintxo to end my day. The front desk had said they closed at 10:30. I had five minutes to spare. All good, right?
...Wrong.
The pintxos were still there, lights on, staff present — and me, smiling with polite hunger. I asked if I could grab something and was met with the coldest “Sorry, we’re closing the register.”
No apology. No exception. Just a hard no, as they boxed up my potential snack right in front of me.
I get it. End of shift. But come on — it was 10:25, not midnight.
One little pintxo. One ounce of human kindness. That’s all it would’ve taken to turn my mini hunger crisis into a cute memory.
📣 Mini PSA: In hospitality, the smallest gestures go the longest way. A smile. A minute. A sandwich.
Last night, none of that happened. And honestly? I’m still mourning the pintxo that got away.
